the NRC technical reviewer to better understand the TR and to have an opportunity to ask
 
Westinghouse representatives clarifying questions regarding the information contained within

1.0 INTRODUCTION

By letter dated December 12, 2016, Westinghouse Electric Company (Westinghouse) submitted WCAP-18032-P, Revision 0, and WCAP-18032-NP, Revision 0, "Calculation of Mixed Core Safety Limit Minimum Critical Power Ratio," topical report (TR) for the U. S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) review and approval. In September 2017, the NRC staff informed Westinghouse of its intent to conduct a regulatory audit. The main purpose of the audit was for the NRC technical reviewer to better understand the TR and to have an opportunity to ask Westinghouse representatives clarifying questions regarding the information contained within the submittal. After a detailed review of the TR, the NRC staff developed 202 comprehension questions that required clarification before request for additional information (RAI) questions could be drafted. Therefore, the NRC staff conducted a closed audit of understanding for the WCAP-18032-P, Revision 0, and WCAP-18032-NP, Revision 0, TR review, between October 17 and 18, 2017, at the Westinghouse facilities in Cranberry Township, Pennsylvania.
